Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a low-temperature ice box capable of accommodating centrifuge tubes of different specifications. Background Art

[0002] Molecular biology experiments often require low-temperature operations. Usually, researchers put crushed ice in a plastic foam box, and then place solvents such as centrifuge tubes on the crushed ice for operation. The above operation may bring the following problems. First, the surface of the ice is uneven, and the centrifuge tube lacks a support point with sufficient strength. During the experimental operation, the centrifuge tube can easily fall below the ice surface; secondly, the ice and the centrifuge tube are similar in color, both white, and it is difficult to quickly find the corresponding centrifuge tube when there is insufficient light or batch sample operation; in addition, the crushed ice will melt, causing the ice body to collapse. At this time, the melted ice water may splash into the tube, contaminating the sample or affecting the experimental results. The traditional low-temperature ice box has a single structure and can only accommodate centrifuge tubes of specific specifications. It cannot adapt to the changes in different experimental requirements, which brings certain inconveniences to the experiment. At the same time, the thermal insulation performance of the traditional low-temperature ice box is also limited. It cannot maintain a low temperature state for a long time, which easily leads to damage and inactivation of the sample. Therefore, a new type of low-temperature ice box is needed that can accommodate centrifuge tubes of different specifications and maintain a low temperature state for a long time to improve experimental efficiency and reliability.

[0003] Therefore, the existing low-temperature ice box cannot meet the needs in actual use, so there is an urgent need for improved technology in the market to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a low-temperature ice box capable of accommodating centrifuge tubes of different specifications, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model discloses a low-temperature ice box capable of accommodating centrifuge tubes of different specifications, comprising an ice box body, a top surface of which is provided with holes and grooves, an upper portion of which is clamped with a box cover, a lower portion of which is plugged with a water storage box, and an inner cavity of the water storage box is connected to an inner cavity of the ice box body, wherein the holes and grooves are distributed in a plurality of groups in a lateral direction, and each group of holes and grooves has six holes and grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, the hole diameter in the middle of each group of hole grooves is smaller than the hole diameters on both sides, and the edge of the upper part of the water storage box is raised, so that the water storage box and the ice box body can be clamped together.

[0008] Furthermore, a sealing rubber ring is embedded between the outer wall of the upper part of the ice box body and the inner wall of the lower part of the box cover, and the sealing rubber ring is fixed to the outer wall of the ice box body.

[0009] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. When the low-temperature ice box is actually used, it can hold centrifuge tubes of different specifications, has universal applicability, improves space utilization, and at the same time meets the requirement that different centrifuge tubes can be used in the same tube rack at the same time. It is efficient and convenient as a whole, and avoids the appearance of various centrifuge tubes and test tubes placed in a disorderly manner on the laboratory table.

[0011] 2. When the low-temperature ice box is actually used, there is a water storage box at the bottom of the low-temperature ice box, through which the melted ice water can be discharged to avoid the trouble caused by wiping the countertop. The low-temperature ice box is equipped with a lid. When the low-temperature ice box is stacked, the lid can well protect the items and reagents in the ice box, so that the items and reagents will not be affected by the items placed on top, and can be used as a storage box.

[0012] 3. The low-temperature ice box has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing, convenient use, and wide application range. At the same time, the sealing structure and the design of the bottom water storage box can effectively avoid sample evaporation and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the experiment.
